STLV Wrap-Up & Ashley V. Robinson Aug 23, 2015

Show notes

It was one amazing time, that's for sure!

Bill and Dan have returned from the gigantic Official Star Trek Convention in (Fabulous) Las Vegas, Nevada!

They met new friends...

They got autographs...

They took pictures...

...and they laughed a LOT.

They also came back with the mysterious "Khan Krud" that seemed to affect a lot of people who attended. Now that they've finally recovered from that, they wrap up their experiences at STLV and talk about some of their lasting memories from this year's trip!

Plus, we're also joined by one of the new friends we made during the trip--none other than Ensign Williams from the web series, "The Red Shirt Diaries!" Ashley Victoria Robinson will talk about her favorite moments of the convention and tell us about the upcoming second season of RSD which debuts new, weekly episodes on YouTube starting Monday, September 14th!

Plus, find out all about Dan's inability to set an alarm clock--all in this episode of the Trek Geeks Podcast!

It's the third of our minicasts from this year's Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas!

Once again, Dan and Bill report on their experiences from high atop the Flamingo, overlooking the Las Vegas Strip! We met many listeners and new friends yesterday--and we hope to meet even more of you today as the KHAAANN winds down.

Today we recap all the great cosplay, Dan's fanboy moments meeting Vic Mignogna, and our plans for today. Plus, hear about how Dan and Bill will randomly be screaming in the Dealer's Room with Michele Specht at various, unpredictable times.

It's the last day of our global family reunion where they also happen to hold a Star Trek Convention! We hope you all enjoy it!

Geeks in Vegas, Part II Aug 08, 2015

Show notes

NOW we understand what the phrase means! Sure, it's a dry heat, but so is a kiln, honestly. It's a good thing we spent plenty of time basking in the air conditioning at the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas!

Dan and Bill recap their second full day of the KHAAANN--they extol the virtues of Hash House a Go Go and talk about their first hand experience playing Star Trek Timelines! To be honest, the awesome folks at Disruptor Beam practically had to pry the iPads out of our hands after we were done test driving the game---but you can find out more about that in today's episode!

Plus, hear about the screening of "The White Iris" which was presented by our friends at TrekMovie.com! (Did you know how hard it is to get a cab in Vegas anywhere other than a hotel? Yep. We found out! LOL)

Join us for Episode 25 of the Trek Geeks Podcast!

Geeks in Vegas, Part I Aug 07, 2015

Show notes

It's finally here! Bill and Dan have beamed down to Las Vegas for the annual KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN and have a report on their first day!

In this mini-episode, we discuss Dan's first impressions of walking through the Convention space for the first time, his "Vic Moment" in which he squealed like a young pre-teen, the enormity of the Dealer's Room, the brand new Original Series Bridge that Creation is making available for photo opps, and their plans for today.

It's the first time we've ever recorded in the same room together and now we know why.

If you're here in Vegas, please say "hi" if you see us and if you're not, we hope you this mini-cast gives you a sense of how amazing it is here so you join us for the 50th next August!!

Geek The Stump! Aug 02, 2015

Show notes

It's the week Dan has been waiting for since Episode 1, Dan has been waiting for the right moment.

Ever since the first installment of Stump the Geek, Bill has tasked him. He has tasked him and Dan shall have him.

Dan has chased him around the Moons of Nibia and around the Antares Maelstrom and around Perdition's flames before he would give him up! Now, revenge shall be his.

He shall leave Bill marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet...buried alive.

Well, in truth, he's only going to torture Bill with his own trivia contest that is the Mirror Universe version of STG called, "Geek The Stump!"

Plus, the guys have a discussion on the Borg, on their final preparations for the big Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas coming up in less than a week. It's a backwards episode of Trek Geeks and we hope you enjoy it!

Gaming Edition w/Star Trek Timelines Jul 19, 2015

Show notes

If you were at the convention in Las Vegas last year, you probably saw the introduction of Star Trek Timelines, from Boston-based Disruptor Beam, Inc. Unlike other games in the Star Trek universe, this one will allow you to explore the galaxy and even resolve conflict instead of having to just shoot things. You'll be able to discover the Final Frontier from your computer, tablet, or mobile device!

Today, we'll learn more from Timelines Lead Designer Tim Crosby and Principal Game Designer David Heron who chat about everything from concept, game play, and even their own personal love of Star Trek as fans.

Then, Bill and Dan discuss their favorite (and their not-so-favorite) Star Trek games over the years across a variety of platforms. It's an All-Gaming Edition of the Trek Geeks Podcast, so line up your Code Red, your Doritios, and get ready to hit Start...it's GAME ON, and we've got next!

Chuck Huber Jun 14, 2015

Show notes

What better way to follow up our special coverage of "The White Iris," than to sit down with one of the principal cast members from Star Trek Continues? We're talking about the Chief Medical Officer of the Starship Enterprise--Dr. McCoy himself, the one and only Chuck Huber!

Dan and Bill talk to Chuck about conventions and fans, keeping things light on the set, "The White Iris," and what he might like to see for McCoy in future episodes of Star Trek Continues!
